The Nude Aesop: Camera Fables for the Modern Man
No full textHow can it be that I have been collecting for seventeen years and never even knew that this crazy book existed?! Hats off to Greg Williams for finding it for me! Aesop serves as a kind of coat rack for hanging your latest nude photographs, just as one could do a nude Shakespeare or a nude Mother Goose. Overall, there are five fables, two folk-tale parodies, and one group of photos that did not work into the fables. In WS, Allen cleverly (1) chooses the poorer version, so that the story is about taking off clothes and (2) makes the subject a girl, so that the bet is about making her drop her cloak completely. In The Dancing Lamb, the wolf, playing the lamb's flute, begins to enjoy himself as the lamb dances. The Stomach Rebellion is done in color. The choice of its last illustration raises questions. MM, which uses a wine-jar, makes the most effective use of the medium. Lazy Elizabeth works off the Aesopic The Boy and the Filberts. The dust-jacket blurb says that this book breaks new ground in a well-worn field.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)This book has a dust jacket (book cover)Casey Alle

No full text12. Loxandrus limatus Casey, 1918:382 This taxon was described from an unspecified number of specimens collected in the « District of Columbia ». Casey’s collection in USNM contains a single specimen, a female herein designated as the lectotype, labelled «Washgtn 15.10 D.C./Casey bequest 1925/Type USNM 47335 / limatus Csy. [handwritten]/ UAIC 00044057 / lectotype Loxandrus limatus by [handwritten] R. T. Allen». The lectotype (SBL ¼ 8.9; ABL ¼ about 10.0 mm) is conspecific with specimens of L. rectus (Say, 1823) [NEW SYNONYMY]. As pointed out by Allen (1972:72) ‘‘the large size and broadly rounded and explinate posterior angles of the pronotum serve to distinguish this species [L. rectus] and L. pravitubus from all other Loxandrus species. ’’Published as part of Bousquet, Yves, 2006, New Synonymies and Notes on North American Loxandrus LeConte (Coleoptera: Carabidae), pp. 145-157 in The Coleopterists Bulletin 60 (2) on page 149, DOI: 10.1649/865.

Casey’s collection in USNM contains a single specimen, a female, herein designated as the lectotype, labelled «Vic Miss [handwritten]/Casey bequest 1925/Type USNM 47344 / fulgens Csy [handwritten]/ UIAC 00044055 / lectotype Loxandrus fulgens by [handwritten] R.

The males and females can usually be identified by using external characters.’’Published as part of Bousquet, Yves, 2006, New Synonymies and Notes on North American Loxandrus LeConte (Coleoptera: Carabidae), pp. 145-157 in The Coleopterists Bulletin 60 (2) on page 148, DOI: 10.1649/865.
Embedded Foundations: Advancing Community Change and Empowerment
No full text· Embedded funders are foundations that have made long-term commitments to the communities in which they are located or work.
· Foundations have a long history in funding community development, often with few concrete results.
· Political conditions, the increasing divide between rich and poor, inaccessibility of education, lack of housing, and continued segregation and racial discrimination are issues that need be addressed concurrently and resources need to be drawn from a variety of sources, particularly the neighborhoods themselves. This complexity has created an impetus for embedded philanthropy.
· Embedded funders work participatively with the community and frame evaluations in less theoretical, more actionable ways.
· While the future of embedded philanthropy remains to be seen, there is now a group of funders committed to this way of working
